The music icon delivered a heartfelt speech as he took the stage at the N.Y.C. premiere of his upcoming documentary ‘Elton John: Never Too Late’ on Tuesday, Oct. 1
Elton John is thankful for his family and fans after suffering several health issues through the years.
On Tuesday, Oct. 1, the singer-songwriter, 77, delivered an emotional speech as he attended the New York Film Festival premiere of Elton John: Never Too Late, accompanied by his husband David Furnish and R.J. Cutler, who co-directed the documentary.
While speaking after the documentary aired, John — who also serenaded the crowd with “Tiny Dancer” at the event — opened up about his health journey, sharing, “To be honest with you, there’s not much of me left. I don’t have tonsils, adenoids or an appendix. I don’t have a prostate.”
“I don’t have a right hip or a left knee or a right knee. In fact, the only thing left to me is my left hip. But I’m still here. And I can’t thank you [enough], you’re the people that made me. I want to thank David and Zachary and Elijah for making me the happiest man in the world,” the music icon continued, referencing his partner and their two sons.
